RULES FOR THE GAME OF PIT
It is a lively trading game played with special cards. It is trademarked and copyrighted by Parker Brothers.

Players attempt to collect sets of cards representing commodities traded on the American Corn Exchange:- wheat, barley, corn, rye, oats, flax and hay.
The game is made more exciting by the inclusion of bonus and penalty cards:- a bull and a bear.

Cards are exchanged by any two players wishing to trade the same number of cards and as all players are trying to trade at once the game often develops into a happy free for all.
